| That must’ve been very difficult. Nah. I just kind of wimped out. The bad thing is that the classroom was only about 200 feet (walking path) from my dorm room. Out the door, down some steps, across a parking lot, up the sidewalk, in the door, turn right, and voila. I had no excuse with that class. |

| Often one good place to meet people is at church. If there are some kind of church activities it can give you a chance to size each other up before you go on a first date. |

| The two week notice is more of a courtesy than a requirement unless maybe if it is in your employment agreement that you signed. Unless the employer is ready to pay you for the two weeks (or more) if they fire you or lay you off, then they should not expect you to extend more courtesy to them than t... |

| Also, influenza is usually spread person to person. Maybe an insect could spread it, but if they can, that would be the exception, not the rule. |

| Washington DC is already under Federal control. Its ability to "govern" itself is largely within bounds set by Congress. And the bounds can change whenever Congress changes its mind. I know a number of people who think that only federal buildings and property should be part of Washington ... |

I was math.
Part of why I didn't enjoy Shakespeare may have been that I took it after having heart surgery and wasn't feeling well that semester. |

| Just out of curiosity, what is Minecraft? I've heard of it but don't really pay any attention to video games. My idea of a video game is like playing backgammon against the computer. |

I have seen a couple of Shakespeare's plays as films and I quite enjoyed them.
However, I have had to read some Shakespeare's plays in class and I really hated that.
I think that English Literature courses are the enemy of enjoying English Literature. |

When you go to the doctor and don't want to tell anyone why:
"Why did you go to the doctor?"
"I went for EOPP."
"What's EOPP?"
"Embarrassing Old People's Problem" |
